Slim Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Cologne are confident Lukas Podolski will return to the club amid reports he is again unsettled at Bayern Munich after losing his place to Luca Toni. The Germany striker considered leaving Bayern this summer, but new boss Jurgen Klinsmann was able to persuade the forward that he had an important role to play this season and he agreed to stay. However, after scoring a penalty on the opening day, Podolski was left out in favour of Italy striker Toni and Miroslav Klose in the following game and, according to Bild, launched into a furious rant when approached by TV reporters. And Cologne president Wolfgang Overath told the Welt on Sonntag: “I am completely sure that he will return to the club at some point. “We will always fight for him and will try to bring him back – in each transfer window.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, though if I remember correctly his agent said it wouldn't put off the clubs chasing him, just perhaps rise the club's asking value. Which, if this is true, it obviously has as we were linked back in July planning on doing a £4 Million bid or something. Don't remember all of it really.

Guest geordienorway Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I find it strange that we are bidding for Skjelbred now and not 3 weeks ago. We will have to pay at least 2 million £ more now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I do vaguely recall it being said that the player has a verbal agreement that he could move abroad when he wanted, and that the contract was merely to strengthen the club's financial position.

Kaizero Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 So far I've read the below on the forum about the Skjelbred thing, I've added translations as well: "Det står jo forsåvidt der at det er "according to reports from Norway" da, og jeg vet ikke helt hvor de rapportene skulle ha kommet fra. Men det er kanskje ikke snakk om allment tilgjengelige nyhetskilder. - It says there that it's "according to reports from Norway", and I don't know where those reports have come from. Though it could be that it's not from the media." "Får vi 6 m £ for Skjelbred bør vi glise bredt. - If we get 6 m £ for Skjelbred we should be very happy." "£6 millioner faktisk! Det dukker opp mye rart av rykter i England, når det nærmer seg transfer deadline, men får vi så mye for Skjelbred, så er det bare å vinke adjø, og le hele veien til banken. - £6 Millions actually! Many strange rumours appears in England when the transfer deadline approaches, but if we get that much for Skjelbred, it's just to wave goodbye and laugh all the way to the bank."
